Jasmine's mother, Lisa Lapore, and friend Robert Hasman appeared on "The Today Show" to discuss the news of the apparent suicide.
Both admitted to mixed feelings, including Lapore's relief that Jenkins was no longer a threat to others.
"I was happy that Ryan killed himself," admitted Robert, who last spoke to Jasmine shortly before she was murdered. "I don't know how I feel right now."
Jasmine had texted Robert that she was coming to Las Vegas to see him.
"Jasmine and I spoke Thursday night, several texts and e-mails," he said. "And the last text I received was 1:45 in the morning Friday."
Did Ryan know she was leaving?
"I can only assume that might have been the cause, his motive," said Richard. "I don't know."

You've got it wrong. What kind of person is Robert to keep in contact with a married woman? He has no values or morals. She can't be much better... running from one wealth man to another.
